Which monitor to buy?

Hey guys... I just built a new gaming system and I'm looking for monitor recommendations. My only requirements are:
21", flat screen CRT, max resolution at least 1600x1200

Price range is around $500-600. Any ideas?
 
The Dell P1130 was available yesterday for $529.20 shipped next day. That promotion ended at midnight but because it is the end of the fiscal quarter Dell may offer a similar promotion again.

The website doesn't specify the refresh rate at 1600x1200 but I expect it to be 75Hz. It certainly won't be anything less. Some people think you need 85Hz but I've yet to see an improvement going from 75Hz to 85Hz. Even 70Hz is usually flicker-free to my eyes.
 
I recommend NEC/Mitsubishi monitors. I have a 22" NF monitor and it looks great. Does 1800x1440@72Hz (1600x1200@85Hz). The newer 22 inchers from them can handle up to 2048x1536@75 Hz.
